Hezbollah leader Naim Qasem: "We will not judge the administration that has been taken over by new forces in Syria until it stabilizes, takes a clear position and establishes order. Hezbollah has lost its military supply route through Syria. This is a detail and may change over time. Resistance is flexible; what is important is its continuity. We do not believe that what is happening in Syria will affect Lebanon. We supported Syria because it is in a hostile position towards Israel. We hope that the new administration in Syria will see Israel as an enemy and will not normalize relations."


See My Iranian bot friends, even Sheikh Naim Qasem thinks we can be potentially friends, and that he will withhold judgement until things play out. And there isn't any bad blood from his statements. Iran reopened the embassy a few days ago. Everything is calm, Shias doing their stuff in their Masjids, Sunnis doing their stuff in their Masjids.

The Church dudes doing the Church Stuff.

Let's say there are two factors - what is the need for the US to have bases in Saudi Arabia and/or other ME countries?

What is the need for US Central Command?? You will have your answer if you know the answer to this question.

Unlike the US China is dependent on oil coming from that area of the world it would make total sense for China to secure energy supply routes in case of emergency. Another need is to protect its interest for the BRI specifically in East Africa. China's technology industry can be supplemented by minerals from Congo, Zambia, Angola via a railways and ports in Tanzania:

That's (The bolted front) the issue here. In case of an emergency that big (e.g. a war in the middle east with an unknown adversary) that China needs to secure those oil and foreign interest, they will then need to secure the supply route to those bases in the region in order to secure those interest. Any supply route to those bases in the middle east is going have to go thru the strait of Malacca, which mean if there is a case that China need to fight in the middle east, they would have to secure the transit right thru the strait and keep it open to Chinese Naval Traffic.

As I mentioned before, it would have been fine if China have those base in peace time, once it is not, there will be a problem to supply a base that far, that is the reason why USSR abandoned the idea to have a permanent base in Cuba after the Cuban Missile Crisis, because they know they can't support a base that far from their influence even if Cuba is aligned to USSR. It's not Cuba is the matter, it's the route toward Cuba, once they are at war, it will be cut off.

This is like a "chicken or the egg" problem. If China has more bases then they would be linked and the means to support them would become more feasible. They have control over Sri Lanka's Hambantota and a base in Djibouti adding one in the middle (perhaps Oman) would facilitate supplies between the three. Even though it is peace time the Chinese would like to keep it that way - as the saying goes "if you want peace prepare for war".

Depends on what do you mean by "more base" if this is based on lease or thru cooperation, that's not gonna work, you need complete control of those base, which mean you need to either have an Okinawa style deal with the host country, or you outright control the ownership of the territories like Guam or American Samoa, because even if you are talking about Russian Assad style or Clark Air Base type lease, it's not going to work if the politics changes hand, and you need 100% control of those base so they can be secure, either way mentioned is going to put China in full Colonial Mode.

Regarding the territories of US, France, UK - they have no business claiming those islands and should be evicted.

That's what colonial rules mean.........

I agree China does not have "colonial" ambitions but as US and allies try to constrain China then China will want to escape those constraints. Reality is it probably will be ME and Africa at the "receiving end" of those ambitions, there is no escaping Thucydides' trap.

The problem is, colonial rule is a very old concept it doesn't apply to modern or contemporary politics, the reason why US, France and the UK (And in some degree, Australia) still have overseas territories is because they have it for so long, those people actually identify themselves as colonial subject, I mean ask people from Falkland, Guam, Puerto Rico or Christmas Island (Australian Territories near Indonesia) and they will identify themselves as British, American and Australian respectively even as Falkland is just 200km from Argentina, Guam and Puerto Rico official language is not even English and the population of Christmas Island is exclusively Asian. If you start a colonial war now, they will fight you to death like they did in Afghanistan (Both Time) Vietnam, and Ukraine. This is because the concept of a nation is more define post WW2 after UN was established. Which mean there are only economic cooperation mean, or China suddenly decided to invade some country far ahead in order to secure their national interested.

What else do you expect Hezbollah to say?

They have however said they expect Syria to stay as part of the resistance.

Unlikely they will but let’s see…


Lol. With what?

Zionist F-15s and F-35s would establish total air supremacy over the battlefield.

I don't think 1990s era Turkish F-16s with just AIM-120Cs would be any more than shooting practice for the Zionist air force.

Also is the US going to be happy about this?
 
Unlikely they will but let’s see…

No this will happen if they fk with Turkish interests, its one this to send Turkey planes to the Golan, its another for them to come right to Turkish borders and fundamentally fk with Turkish interests, If they come, then its on. Turkey isn't Iran, it has A full Air Force and AWACS, Tankers, Electronic Warfare Aircraft etc etc, and fighting with a home field advantage, right next to its borders.

its one thing to go One vs One with the US in a hot war, but the Israelis are not the US. And if they decide to fk with fundamental Turkish interests, then there will be issues.
